"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
There is absurdity in even wasting 1 second of your life buying a PowerBall ticket...
Having said that I deeply regret not getting one while we were out yesterday.
Hey Joe...Lets go in half on some..? I don't wanna go out, i'm in my Pajamas sittin by the fire with lil precious. You want me to write up a contract here?
Lets do $10, and if either of us win with our personal tickets, the other gets half as well. Thats to ensure against cheating by you. I will find out if you win

The probability of winning is 1 in 175 million.
The value of the pot at $500 million -- so my equation generates a value of 2.8 --- or double my threshold value.
That's fine by me --- I figure with the jackpot as big as it is ---- there could be 2 winners.
I know you think youre the only person here who's ever been to the Middle East, and fancy yourself as the middleastern expert here....But I'm the ODDS expert, and i'm here to tell you that you'd have to be a moron to buy a PowerBall ticket.
I'll admit that i'm reluctantly trying to precure a ticket, but i'm not proud of it.
